Red, Black, and Lots of Booty Poppin’

by Sammy Leave a Comment

Sometimes there are color combinations that you know just WORK on you.

They don’t have to work on anyone else. I mean, they can … but they work in a different way. Not YOUR way. And YOUR way doesn’t work like THEIR way. Get it? Good.

Anyway, my point here: Red & Black looks amazing on me. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the blue eyes, or the fact that red is one of those feminine, I-want-to-make-out-with-you-right-now colors.

But beyond just being a sexually electric color of the rainbow, red works even better when paired with black. I remember wearing the color combo for my junior year prom. I went goth [it’s true!] with my then-Marilyn-Manson-obsessing-boyfriend. So, the red/black/goth/pre-Twilight-dark-obsession worked pretty dang well.

Now, I wear red & black [with a touch of booty] because it makes me feel powerful. With this color palette on my body, combined with some tight fabrics, fishnets, and the signature turban [yeah, I said it] … I feel like I can conquer the world.

Or at least 125th Street, Harlem U.S.A.

THE LOOK: Red, Black & Booty All Over

THE TURBAN: No explanation needed. Stolen from bro, acquired at Salvation Army.

THE TOP: Part of my “Dark Angel” Halloween costume, Halloween ‘08. What is it, exactly? Um … a leotard.

THE VEST: Gifted consignment from Always Order Dessert

THE BRACELET: Gifted consignment

THE EARRINGS: Handmade by my brother’s ex-girlfriends mom. Ugh, say that 10 times fast.

THE SKIRT: Forever 21, circa 2008

THE BELT: Last worn on this day … one of those discoveries I forgot I had, and have now re-fallen in love

THE FISHNETS: Christmas ‘09 gift from Mama D. Girls on the subway complimented them and asked where they were from. My response: MARSHALS!

THE SHOES: Gifted consignment from A New Mode, Jessica Simpson
